about this tour

This Ecuador and Peru trip is well suited to families looking for a combination of cultural sites, scenery, and activities. The journey begins in Quito, Ecuador’s capital, where families can visit preserved colonial streets, churches, and plazas while learning about the city’s background. Guided visits help explain how historic influences continue to shape modern life, offering an introduction for both adults and children. From Quito, the itinerary continues to the Galapagos Islands, known for their distinctive wildlife and relaxed coastal settings. Time is spent exploring beaches and nearby islands while learning about local ecosystems. Families also have the opportunity to join a conservation project, working with local teams to support the protection of wildlife and the surrounding environment. The journey then continues to Peru, starting in Cusco, a city closely linked to the Inca civilisation. Visits to archaeological sites lead on to Machu Picchu, high in the Andes. Time in the Sacred Valley allows families to experience rural communities where traditional customs remain part of daily life, offering valuable cultural insight. This itinerary allows families to choose activities that suit their interests, from slower paced days to options such as white water rafting. Experienced guides support the group throughout, and comfortable accommodation ensures an enjoyable stay. Designed for a range of ages, this tour offers a well balanced way for families to travel together.

FAQs

1. What activities are on the Galapagos Island boat tour for families?

You head out by boat to nearby islands and bays, looking for sea lions, marine iguanas, and seabirds with a local naturalist. There’s usually time to stop at calm beaches for a swim or a short walk, so kids aren’t just sitting on the boat the whole time.

2. How does the Galapagos conservation volunteer day work for families?

You join a local project for a few hours, helping with simple tasks like planting, trail work, or basic habitat care, while learning how these efforts protect native species and the islands’ environment.

3. What are the Quito and Cusco city tours like for families?

Guides lead you through historic streets, plazas, and main landmarks, explaining how each city’s past links to indigenous cultures, the Inca era, and life today in a way that adults and children can follow.

4. How do we visit Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley on this family trip?

You take the train and then a short bus ride to reach Machu Picchu, with time to walk the main areas and, when timing allows, see the sunrise over the ruins. In the Sacred Valley, you visit villages and terraced fields that show how Incan ideas about farming and community are still part of local life.

5. What family activities are offered, like white-water rafting and chocolate tasting?

You can choose a guided white-water rafting trip on a nearby river, planned for safe family fun, then slow down with a bean-to-bar chocolate tasting, learning each step and trying different samples.
